Wn175 Flamingo near the village of Tardinghen provided another line of defence to the batteries of the Cap Gris Nez – Todt and Grosser Kurfurst – from attackers moving along the coast from the east.
It’s a small Widerstandsnest with three clusters of concrete constructions. One is an open emplacement for a 2cm anti-aircraft gun along with an ammunition store and defensive Tobruk.
The second is another open emplacement but this time for a 7.5cm field gun with an ammunition bunker and garage for protecting the gun from bombing raids.
The site’s toughest building was the R612 casemate which again featured a 7.5cm gun trained to the east.
Wn175 is on private farmland and access is only with permission.
